Tux3 File System Could Finally Make It Into the Mainline Linux Kernel

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday May 17, 2014 @09:58AM from the voted-onto-the-island dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Tux3 file-system that's been in development since 2008 as the public replacement to the patent-blocked Tux2 file-system is now under review for inclusion into the Linux kernel. Tux3 tries to act as a 'light, tight, modern file-system. We offer a fresh approach to some ancient problems,' according to its lead developer, Daniel Phillips. Tux3 strives for minimal resource consumption but lacks enterprise-grade reliability at this point. Tux3, at the end of the day, tries to be 'robust, fast, and simple' with the Linux FS reportedly being as fast as other well known file-systems. Details on the project are at Tux3.org."

The way ZFS saved Sun marks it as an über-technology.

Since Trolling is an art, and stuff.

A lot of these linux developers are pretty young.
